The number of academic studies of Sino-African relations has risen exponentially over the past decade. As the field is about to mature, the need for methodological and theoretical reflections increases. We invite researchers and graduate students from geography and other disciplines to join us in discussing theory building and methodological developments in scholarship on China and Africa at the Association of American Geographers conference in New York February 24-28, 2012. The topics will be addressed in two sessions:
1. Reworking development studies in an era of ‘South-South’ relations
2. Methodological challenges in studying Sino-African relations
